ALEXANDER DUMAS.
N E of the principal characteristics
of Alexander Dumas is that he
wears his father’s hat, but, unlike the
gentleman who sports the chapeau
de son grandpére, it fits him. Du-
mas’s pere was a dramatist and
novelist, and eke Dumas fils is a
dramatist and novelist, the difference
being that the old gentleman is dead,
while the young one is not only alive
himself, but is accustomed to making
things extremely lively in French
literature. Nevertheless, he is a
member of the French Academy,
and one of the forty who call them-
selves immortal, and are forgotten
before the ink of the complimentary
resolutions that form part of their
obituaries in the journal pour Kim
is dry.
Alexander Dumas, Jr., was reared
in a religious. environment. His
father was a member of the First
Presbyterian Church of Paris, Vice-
President of the Association Chré—
tien des Jeunes Cons, of the same
city, and a regular contributor to the
Paris Igzde'pendanf. Under his pious
instructions, Alexander the younger
grew up in the way he should go.
He never played marbles for keeps -
in his earlier youth; he never'stole
barrels to make bonfires on the
Fourth of July; he was kind to the
cats in the back alley, and he never
encouraged carpetztacks to stand,
with acrobatic perversity, upon their
heads in his teacher’s chair.
At the age of fourteen, Alexander
joined the First Presbyterian Church
in Paris, and was entrusted with the
task of passing the contribution box,
Napoleon Troisiéme going upon his
bond. The same year young Dumas
established a mission Sunday—school
in the Quartier Latin ; and at the age
of seventeen he published a pamphlet,
entitled ” Les Péchés de Jeunesse,”
that made him popular with the
President of the Paris Tract Society.
Afterward he travelled with his father \
in Spain and Africa, and was so much impressed with the opportunities
he observed for the evangelization of the natives that he wrote a book,
on his return to Paris, called “Les Aventures de Quatre Femmes et
d'un Perroquet,” which was published in L’Avamt C/zre’tz'm and ex-
cited universal admiration in church circles.
A few years later Alexander Dumas wrote a book caller ” La Dame
aux Camélias,” which was reviewed by Gladstone and Became a tre-
mendous success. In spite of the author‘s wishes to the contrary, how-
ever, the book was dramatized by Verdi and introduced into “ La
Traviata," involving upon Mr. Dumas the necessity of producing a
dramatic version himself, which ran almost as long as “ Adonis,” and
was able to compete in a jay town with the San Francisco Minstrels.
The charge that Dumas stole the plot of “ La Dame aux Camélias"
from Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe‘s novel, ” Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” has
been proved to be unfounded.
LIFE’S GALLERY-0F BEAUTIES. No. 17.
ALEXANDER DUMAS.
Mr. Dumas has written a great many other books and plays since,
and” is very well known in the theatrical profession of Paris, where, as
is well known, the religious element predominates. He is sixty—five
years of age, has a comfortable income, and wears a top—hat on Sun—
days and legal holidays.
AN UNPARDONABLE .ERROR.
ATHER'. Mr. Sand, the grocer, tells me he discharged
you for swindling him. This is a terrible disgrace to
the family.
SON: I couldn’t help it, father. He gave me some lead
to put under the scales, and I made a mistake and put it
on the wrong side.
